Deadly Intent

Abbie DiAngelo finally has the life she’s always wanted.
She has gotten past her divorce and cherishes her nine-year old
son, Ben. Her restaurant is making money and she is
being heralded as the hot new chef.

Then her stepbrother reenters her life. Straight out of prison,
Ian MacGregor shows up at Abbie’s door claiming to have
proof that implicates her mother in a twenty-five-year-old
murder. Proof Ian will keep to himself…if Abbie pays for his
silence. But when she arrives to pay Ian off, she finds his
murdered body.

Homicide detective John Ryan quickly realizes there is more
to the murder of ex-con Ian MacGregor than he originally
thought. And no one, especially Abbie, is telling him the
truth. But Abbie has no choice-she must trust him. Because
someone desperate is acting with deadly intent.
